Lancer Camper. Inc Sold Out

I've been always strong admirer of "family tradition" business.
Big corporations have the same production rules what communism did.

might not be the same subject but it's like thor bought out jayco and entegra. sure hate to see that. thor is not all that good from what I have seen when it comes to warranty claims

You always wonder if the new owners keep the same staff and workers??? Hard to tell about the future in these kinds of buy-outs.

We own a 2008 Lance, and have had good luck with it ... and have met some of the folks at the factory, and been there for a repair under warranty when we first bought it new.

We left the east coast, had a problem with the Fridge on the road, and it happened - conveniently in California - so we ended up at the factory. The service guys replaced almost every part on the Fridge, just to be sure, and inspected and tested every component on the camper while we camped in the driveway overnight, with electric power HU. They replaced a couple more things, again, just to be sure.

Have not had any issues with it since - except minor tweaks, and maintenance.
Time will tell us how the new owners will perform.

Fleetwood is garbage, also owned by REV

Fleetwood doesn't exist, right? Are you saying the company that bought Lance is garbage? From what I've read, there are very few RV parent companies any more.

“Lance Camper designs, engineers and manufactures its lineup of innovative, high quality, and customer-centric products from its state-of-the-art campus in Lancaster, CA.”

That’s all going to end unfortunately. I can only guess at the amount of the monthly check Lance’s manager must to mail every month to repay for the buyout.

Hard to tell if it is good or bad. I don't know anything about REV. Experience tells me buyouts are not good for customers (witness what happens to independent RV manufacturers when they are bought out by Thor or Forest River). Time will tell.
